[clue] Website software, Simplify, Decouple

[David L. Willson]

I know it doesn't seem like a CMS would simplify things, and from the perspective of the underlying stack, it doesn't, but from the perspective of most normal, content-contributing humans, having a CMS simplifies things tremendously. 

But I agree with the idea of separating web-server from mail-server unless there's a good reason to keep them together.
